"After the Gold Rush"

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights

In armor coming

Saying something about a queen

There were peasants singing and

Drummers drumming

And the archer split the tree

There was a fanfare blowing

To the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the 1970s

Look at Mother Nature on the run

In the 1970s

I was lying in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for replacement

When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing in my head

And I felt like getting high

I was thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie

Thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver

Spaceships flying

In the yellow haze of the sun

There were children crying

And colors flying

All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream

The loading had begun

Flying Mother Nature's

Silver seed to a new home in the sun

Flying Mother Nature's

Silver seed to a new home
